While we were not at AOPA this year, it is great to see all the posts of everyone enjoying the conference and how far 3D printing in O&P has come. There is a real buzz and support around the industry and how we can best support our clients.

Over the past several years, we’ve collected extensive feedback from patients comparing traditional ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) with 3D-printed AFOs.

When we compiled the most common comments a clear theme emerged:
👍 Comfort, lightweight, improved fit, thinner and better aesthetics consistently stand out to patients as benefits of our 3D-printed devices.

👎 Some of the negatives were that initial designs were too tight, highlighting the importance of the digital modification process for clinicians and transferring plaster knowledge to the digital space.

We’re excited to be part of this movement, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in orthotic care.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look of our manufacturing team extracting parts fresh from our Multi Jet Fusion 4200 (MJF) printer.

Once out of the build, every device is sand blasted to remove residual powder and maintain a consistent surface finish. They can then be finished in one of our two standard options:
⚫ Deep Dye Black – a standard finish that hides scratches, nicks, and day-to-day wear while giving a sleek look
⚪ Raw Gray – the natural MJF finish, perfect for prototyping, parts that may be components of an assembly, functional surface finishes straight from the printer

These finishing options are designed to balance durability, aesthetics, and clinical performance, so every device is patient-ready.

Can you grind into 3D Printed AFOs???

Yes, but it's different.....

Yes, it's still common practice to grind back trimlines, trim back a toeplate, and fine-tune material during fitting. But here’s some key differences from traditional thermoplastics like copoly or polypro:

👉 Use a variable-speed trautman
👉 Slow it down....much slower than you’re used to
👉 Why? Going too fast creates extra heat, making the material ‘gummy’ and harder to work with

(Yes, this clip is sped up… but in reality, slowing down is your best friend here.)

Raw parts are grey, but when ground in to, the area turns black. That’s one reason we offer deep dye black services. It hides nicks, dings, and scratches that can happen before fitting or during normal wear.

🚀 Sneak Peek – Boundless Digital Technologies is here! From the team at Boundless Biomechanical Bracing, we’re opening the doors to a new space dedicated to digital technologies in O&P.

Give our new page a follow if you are interesting in seeing....

🎓 Education content – Deep dives into material properties, grinding, heating & flaring techniques, scanning workflows, and design considerations for additive manufacturing. We will look at the differences in FDM, SLS, or MJF 3D printing, what applications are right for which technology and more.

🛠 Product Features – Step-by-step guides on uploading files and placing orders for Hinged, Rigid, and ESR AFOs, plus an inside look at the unique features of each device. We’ll share case studies, research findings, and publications that back our designs.

🔍 Behind the Scenes – See what else we’re creating with Multi Jet Fusion technology, and how our devices are brought to life with advanced digital tools.

💬 Discussion – Honest conversations about the real challenges of adopting 3D printing in O&P. After 7 years navigating the ups, downs, and everything in between, we’re here to share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what we’re still learning—so you can fast-track your own digital journey.

This is more than a new page—it’s a place for our colleagues in the O&P community to learn, connect, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
